Will the icore 7 6700k handle 3200mhz ram?

Solidsnake07 · Feb 6, 2016

Ive been buying parts for the lga 1151 socket, I assumed the new skylake CPU's could handle high ddr4 3200mhz ram. Has anyone overclocked to where they can use 3200mhz ram or even boot their system it without overclocking the CPU using the 6700k?

Ive had bad experiences with trying to get my icore 7 3770 currently to even run 2400mhz ram had to settle for 2000mhz so I'm really worried. If I have to overclock to get that speed then I'm gonna swap to water cooling for the CPU which I know nothing about.

What chipset/motherboard are you using? It depends on that more than anything. If the manufacturer says it can, it can

pretty sure some where on toms theres an article showing theres no great benefit on skylake from ram over 2400/2666mhz

saying that i got a deal on 3000mhz ram and can boot 32gb of that fine but never bothered trying to overclock it any higher

That's the motherboard ram says it can do 3800mhz max

Tried to find the article with no luck.

You should be fine, there should be a difference as mcnumpty said, so if you need you dont actually need to run it at full speed- there is no reason too if you don't get perfect stability on it

similar article here--if the faster ram isnt costing much more then fair enough get it any way but if paying a premium for it somewhere in the article pretty sure it will say not really any real world noticable difference only higher benchmark scores
